My father is 76 years old. He has NEVER been into the fantasy genre in any sense. Over the last 15 years, I have tried numerous times to get him to watch LOTR with me to no avail. This past Christmas, I was able to FINALLY convince him to sit down and watch at least The Fellowship Of The Rings (extended version) with me. Within a 5 day span, we finished ALL 3 Extended Versions and my 76 years old father was in tears by the end of it and thanked me for sharing them with him. He told me "I haven't enjoyed a journey like that in a long time".
Haha similar incident happens with my roommate in clg. Before a holiday break, I downloaded him all 3 lotr extended edition clips, although he wasn't much in fantasy but he promised that he would "look" . A week later he returned as a LOTR nerd. According to him, he began watching fellowship to see what it is before going to bed, ended up pulling a whole nighter, finishing all 3 in one go.
Cool, bro. I am imagining his emotions from the end of the "Return of the King", recalling my emotions of it... First watching of this masterpiece it's just something what hard to hand over to somebody else, without a watching this movie by him(her)self
Frodo : “I can't do this, Sam.” Sam : “I know. It's all wrong By rights we shouldn't even be here. But we are. It's like in the great stories Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were, and sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy. How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad happened. But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn’t. Because they were holding on to something.” Frodo : “What are we holding on to, Sam?” Sam : “That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for.”
@@BunnaySango For me, this serie will never be LotR, never be part of the history of Middle Earth. I just hope they won't make too much damages. How dare they touching to the best movie ever, destroying it.. It's a shame.
IF HOME 🏡 IS WHERE THE HEART ♥ IS... How come ALL OF US ARE SO SLOW TO RECOGNISE OUR UNIQUE INDIVIDUAL 🏡 ♥??? LOVE Meri-Gwenevere Missus of King 👑 Arthur
That last line stood out to me most as well in the entire Hobbit Trilogy. It was very touching and made me sad we didn't see more of this character conflict in the films.
This is the most beautiful comment section I have ever seen. Just thousands of people coming together to enjoy this master piece. It truly brings tears of joy to my eyes. Thank you everyone for gathering here for this amazing moment.
I pay tribute to this masterpiece all along this existence, in the next one, and the ones ahead ! By caring this feeling and giving it to people : some would called it joy, peace, incredible beauty, profound state of being 🙏 Nam Lord of the Ring ya !
Yes, Sam always was very Wise. One time for instance, I got into a fight with a waitress at the prancing pony. I almost turned the wretch into a frog! But, Sam was with me. He told be to put the wand down... Thanks to him, no real harm was done. We all need a Sam.
Me, just moved away from home and to the other side of my home continent. It was for the best, but I deeply miss home. Listening to this and closing my eyes makes me feel like I’m sitting back home in my families living room, drinking a warm cup of coffee. It’s very mentally soothing 😌
My daughter chose this music to walk down the aisle with at her wedding earlier this year. We both promised each other we wouldn't cry as we walked together down the aisle to it. That was a very hard promise to keep...but we both just about held it together 🥰
A beautiful choice, it's so wonderful that J.R.R Tolkein created a masterpiece that transcends generations. The musical score of LOTR is just as beloved as the original Star Wars music.
Remember what Bilbo used to say, "Its a dangerous business, Frodo. Going out of your door. You step onto the road and if you don't keep your feet there is no knowing where you might be swept off to."
This just makes me want to run into the woods and gaze with reverence at every living tree and plant. Lying in the moss and looking at the greatness of the universe at night. Magnificent
No matter how much we deny it. This is true. By looking at suffering and loss of others we don't want to left our comfort. This was the essence of this preposition, i believe.
"Some believe its only great power that can hold evil at check, but that is not what i have found. I found it is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay... small acts of kindness and love." -Gandalf
I guess because the hobbit is the part of our human self which represents life. and since this music sounds fresh, blooming, growing, the message of life is being transported by it. Hobbits like to watch things grow. Life is growing, death is decaying. And home is something pure, we carry it in our hearts, it is the things we love dearly in this life.
I’m from Ireland, and it really is like the Shire in some parts of the island. I just wish there was some way to stop the mass industrialisation of the world. My soul yearns for a more ancient time. I can see why this was one of Tolkien’s biggest fears
A friend is in terminal care for brain cancer, he will be gone soon. I put my phone on his chest with this beautiful music playing while holding his arm. He could barely speak but noded to the song. I knew he would love that. Music is very powerful. LOTR is so impactful... so much inspiration, emotions and wise lessons. Who knew an assembly of words on paper could spun such magic. We forget this came out of a human being, It really feels like a real world of its own out there somewhere.
Mother: *Holding new born for first time* You have my eyes. Father: And my smile. Aragorn: You have my sword. Legolas: And you have my bow. Gimli: And my axe. Nurse: Can we get security in here please, they're back again.
Amit Kumar I firmly believe that Sam should've been the ring-bearer. He always saves frodo, he sticks his neck out for him, and he even sees through gollum's lies and deceptions. He is honestly more brave and capable then frodo, who almost always gets captured.
@@larrypoppins6273 if u read the book(maybe u have done it) ull realise how hard the ring power is, in ther movie u cant really see it. anyone couldnt bear his power anyway im a sam fan :D and love the tales that really matter moment
Myself and my wife are ending our journey through New Zealand as I write this. We toured Hobbiton and it is truly magical - stirs up so many memories from the films.Our tour included a drink in the Green Dragon and a lunch in the Grand Marquee. What a memory to cherish. Thank you Sir Peter Jackson for bringing it all to life for the world to enjoy. If you ever get a chance to visit Hobbiton then DO SO.
When I first saw the movies as a kid, I must admit that I didn't quite like the Hobbits and their 'foolish' and 'uninteresting' lives. 20 years later I finally understand, that it is not a bad thing, my friends, to live a simple and peaceful life.
What do you mean ? Do you mean to wish me a good morning or are you saying that it is a good morning whether I want it or not ? Or perhaps are you saying that you feel good on this particular morning ? Or are you simply stating that this is a morning to be good on ?
You guys here in the comment section are my people, im gonna be honest im Autistic and i rarely cry but when i ever listen to this theme by Howard Shore the tears pour out like rain after weighing my heart down with the anxiety and stress its like my therapy in a way i just hope you beatiful people are doing well RIP JRR Tolkien possibly the greatest writter ever
Oh to be 17 years old again and witnessing Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring on the big screen for the very first time in December 2001. No IPhones, no social media - just a packed auditorium witnessing Tolkien’s legendary tale come to life.
I was 15 in 2001 and had never even heard of LOTR. As fate would have it, a friend of mine from school got me to go cinema with him and watch this. Keeping mind I had no idea about the story, the end left me a bit puzzled. I endes up watching the two sequels at cinema, too. Have since watched the extended copies over a dozen times, read the books and even read other books such as the Silmarillion and hurin. Amazing world set out by Tolkien! I just absolutely love it!
We are the same age. It came out my senior year of HS. Was blown away. I couldn’t wait to meet up with my HS pals during college break to see the last two installments. I watch the series every December and I’m transported back to a wonderful time in my life.
"In a hole in the ground... There lived a Hobbit... Not a nasty, wet, dirty hole full of worms and oozy smells... This was a Hobbit hole, which means, good food, a warm hearth, and all the comforts of home..."
People here comment about how they want for a wizard to come to their front door with fireworks, but what if they’re the wizard all along? What if they just forgot they stashed their fireworks away, and their Bilbo is waiting for them to knock on his door? Be the Gandalf you always wanted in your life. Help others find their place in life, and bring magic to everyone around you. That’s what it truly means to be a kind person, and an even better friend.
Cookie Mom You are a wonderful person! Thanks so much for this comment. You are right so often do we keep waiting for our Gandalf that we forget to be that Gandalf to for others:) This is a wonderful reminder to love and help one another. Thank you again and have an absolutely wonderful SHIRE DAY!
If Heaven does exist I bet it would look a bit like the Shire. Edit: Thank you all for the comments. I especially love the different descriptions of what heaven should look like and be. The reason i believe that heaven for me would look like the shire, is because all i could ever want in life is represented by the shire. A great community with fantastic weather, beautiful green fields, fantastic and kind neighbors, and work to keep me occupied and living comfortably and happy for the rest of eternity. That's all I'd need to truly be in heaven.
" When the cold of winter comes starless nights will cover days In the veiling of the sun We will walk in bitter rain .. But in dreams.. I can hear your name And in dreams ... We will meet again When the seas and mountains fall And we come to the end of days In the dark I hear a call... Calling me there .. I will go there And back again "
@Thomas Borduas I know what you mean. I was emotionally numb for such a long time. Only recently, I could come back to these nostalgic moments from childhood.
Glad to meet you here, my friend 😁 it’s truly a wonderful thing, to see so many people bond over the primal feelings we hold dear that were evokes over the same chords and melodies
When I feel sad, I come here and re-read these comments over and over again without even knowing who they are, so I feel that life has something great in it even if there is no evidence of that. Thank you all and I wish you a life full of happiness.
I hope that when, if ever, you read this have a good day! Do your best and try to make someone else smile 😊 pass you happiness on to others and hope they will do same. I wish anyone who reads these a good night, evening, or mornings. Sorry this is kind of weird 😕, but I just felt like typing this out for anyone who needs some random internet person to tell you to do your best, but still take care of yourself. Sorry I’m going to sleep now, bye 👋🏻
As we grow older we realize that a peaceful life like that of the shire is what we really desire. Simple work, coming home to a warm and merry atmosphere, and sitting down on the porch with a cup of tea and pipe weed. The life of a hobbit is simple yet wholesome

I wanted to cry after reading this! Sam is so underrated as a character Frodo was right I love him, but he was right when he said he wouldn't have made it if it wasn't for Sam
My father passed away couple years ago, when i was 5, i always wait for him to come home from work to watch this legendary trilogy together, so many memories, so many moments
I was just listening to this out loud reading the comments... How many memories are left here, how much love and sorrow I saw here... A whole world and history is left, and I'm still listening to this for over a hundred years... Time passes so fast, I miss my forest life, I miss my friends back there where we could just pretend we're heroes and kings, playing for eternity... Time by time, everything changed when we were suddenly apart, by the Masters in the village or some kind of love we found hiding behind a tree... I WANT TO GO BACK TO MY VILLAGE, WHEN I WAS 6 YEARS OLD... I MISS MY MATES SO BAD, AND IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF THIS TRILOGY
Virgin "If you think there's a happy ending then you haven't been paying attention" Martin vs Eternal Chad “There’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo… and it’s worth fighting for.” Tolkien
Sam: Do you remember the Shire, Mr. Frodo? It'll be spring soon, and the orchards will be in blossom. And the birds will be nesting in the hazel thicket. And they'll be sowing the summer barley in the lower fields. And they'll be eating the first of the strawberries with cream. Do you remember the taste of strawberries? Frodo: No, Sam. I can't recall the taste of food, nor the sound of water, nor the touch of grass. Instead, I'm... naked in the dark. There's nothing. No veil between me and the wheel of fire! I can see him... with my waking eyes! Sam: Then let us be rid of it! Once and for all! Come on, Mr. Frodo. I can't carry it for you... but I can carry you! Come on!
From 0:05 to 0:23 that made me almost cry. I remembered the ending to The Lord of the Rings and literally almost shed a tear. What a wonderful trilogy.
This music throw me back to time, when I was young, dad was alive and together with my mom they were behind my back, protecting me and providing not money, but smile on my face. Decades after, I'm just turned 25, thousands of miles away from my mom, dad had passed year ago as well as the war started so I had to emigrate . Now there's a tremendous earthquake in a country where I'm living for a moment. I don't know, how it'll be, but I know for sure, when I'll feel like it's a time, I'll turn these movies on, sit back and jump back to the good old days, when the biggest problem was to do homework. Sound of the childhood. Thank you.
In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.

Lord of the rings really got me through a tough point in my life. During the pandemic when i couldnt see my friends or family members it was so strange and sad. But one day I decided to watch a beloved film series my dad had always loved and talked about as soon as i watched the fellowship of the ring i was completely in love with the music, character’s, scenary, storyline and everything to do with this franchise. I felt so connected and shed a tear as i finished return of the king it helped me get through a very hard time as i watched the adventures unfold the battles begin and friendships being formed. Now i am in love with lord of the rings, the hobbit and the new series. I am truly thankful for tolkien and how his amazing writing and creativity created such a heartwarming franchise with incredible morales and quotes and peter jackson who made the writers vision truely come to life. I am also so grateful for howard shores music and how he truely connects us with middle earth and the characters. I am forever grateful and will always treasure and love this franchise as it holds a special place in my heart.
"Roads go ever ever on, Over rock and under tree, By caves where never sun has shone, By streams that never find the sea; Over snow by winter sown, And through the merry flowers of June, Over grass and over stone, And under mountains in the moon. Roads go ever ever on Under cloud and under star, Yet feet that wandering have gone Turn at last to home afar. Eyes that fire and sword have seen And horror in the halls of stone Look at last on meadows green And trees and hills they long have known. " Every time I read Bilbo's poem, it's set to this melody in my head. Howard Shore really just nailed that feeling of home here.
This triology, this music and the story of the little Hobbit helped me so much with my anxiety. It makes me feel like one day everything will be okay. Right now it might be hard, sad and scary but one day this pain will be over. It will feel like coming home after a long journey and I will be safe with no worries. Maybe this will never come true, I honestly don’t know, but it gives me the strength to go on, to keep walking. Hopefully I will learn from this journey and when I come home I might not be the same person as when I left, but that’s good, because I’ll be okay.
I believe that Lord Of The Ring is one of those mythical, legendary films, which do much more than make you dream, which makes you want to go on an adventure, to face a terrible creature and to make fabulous encounters. This complete world is, according to me, a story, a world, a legend not to be forgotten, a legend that will make many generations dream. Like good old Gandalf would say, the world is not in your books and maps, its out there...
These movies taught me a few things: - adventure takes one small step outside - he who dares wins - hope is everywhere - you can *always* rely on friends - the darkness will pass, eventually - the unlikeliest of people make history - the race of others means nothing, we all go through the same struggles - war consumes all - love heals all
I remember when I watched the LOTR Trilogy for the first time, I finished it in at a Sunday at 6:40 AM, seeing the credits roll as the night became morning is with the bluer sky is the most surreal yet fitting experience ever. These movies are irreplaceable, just wonderful features from beginning to end.
These 3 movies are probably the most dedicated works of art ever made. The pure love for the amazing story (perhaps the most beautiful books ever written) Tolkien gave us shines through the production, the directing, the acting, the composing. The pure friendship that the whole crew and fanbase have created together because of this and kept on for so many years. And to bundle it all Howard made sure we feel what the characters are feeling, what the actors are feeling. And I believe this piece, the music of the Shire is the greatest part of the music made for the film. It will always bring tears in my eyes and make the clouds fade away even on the darkest off days. Because there is still some good in this world, and that's worth fighting for.
@@NaesGalaxy Basically this was Gandalf addressing the hobbits when himself Bilbo and Frodo were departing for ever from middle earth to the grey havens that although they wept with sadness it was OK to cry for not all tears are born from evil deeds or consequence.try to inquire and learn instead of branding dismissive labels when things don't make sense to you..p.s not hating on you just trying to help expand your perspective on that which don't immediately make sense to you.peace
@@NaesGalaxy Imagine someone you've known and loved your entire life will set sail to a land far beyond and you'll never see them ever again. It's bittersweet rather than an act of evil or cruelty that usually draws tears.
this is so good to make any grown person cry, not because of sadness or sorrow but because how joyful it sounds taking your mind to a peaceful place where you can just forget everything around you temporary like the problems that are plaguing a person & somehow washes the stress away
Finished my first ever watch through of This tale today, March 30th, 2024 and like pretty much everyone else, i’ve been mystified by its wonder, its endearing characters and its music most of all. This theme will always stick with me from now on
Hullo there, To the people's of middle earth. Greetings from your fellow folk. I just recently finished reading the book named as 'Downfall of The Lord of the Rings and the Return of the King' by Bilbo and frodo baggins. It contains 80 chapters as you knew it. And it is covered in red leathers. I would like to remind this beautiful journey, whenever i feel low. So help me to keep remember this beautiful comment section (worthy to be praised by minstrel's ) To all fellow Middle-Earth folks. I was once here and listened to this great soul-soothing ost and heard the tales of great men, elves, hobbits, dwarves, wizard. Again i want to be here someday, i request all of you to be safe out there. until i came back from the undying lands. (P.S) Try to reach out Treebeard and tell him I'm on a adventure here in far western country. He's one of my dearest friend. Thank you, KK
hello mate, i hope your adventure is as wonderfull as you wish Maybe it is time to relive this journey for the cure of our souls, so i answer here for you to remember Say hello for me to Treebeard if you see him. Farewell
On September 29, he, Gandalf, Elrond, Galadriel, and Frodo boarded a ship docked at the Grey Havens and sailed away from Middle-earth. His fate afterward is not known but as he too was a mortal being, he most likely died in the light of the Blessed Realm of Valinor.
"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.
“I made a promise Mr Frodo. A promise. ‘Don’t you leave him Samwise Gamgee.’ And I don’t mean to. I don’t mean to.” Truly the greatest story ever told.
@Дэйрин Лесная I wasn't implying that I thought you should convert to Christianity or that your preordained theist tendencies were wrong. I myself am an a-religious agnostic. I was saying that it may be helpful to put yourself out into the sphere of the populous more in order to meet potential friends. I know agoraphobia is real because I have it to some degree too, but I don't know the specifics of your case.
Galadriel: ,,Why the Halfling?" Gandalf: ,,I do not know.. Saruman believes that it is only great power, that can hold evil in check.. But that is not what I've found. I've found that it is.. the small things.. everyday deeds of ordinary folk, that keeps the darkness at bay. Simple acts of kindness and love." I do not know who you are. You whoever reads this. But I know that you are a precious individuum. And for that I love you!
I miss my childhood😢….reading Lord of the rings felt like home this music makes me feel it all over again and I am as hurteful as it is grateful for that
